Mission Week #91


July 3, 2012

Hi!
Another week gone. I am now on my 24th month.
EFY's are under way all over and a bunch of companionships were contacted and asked to speak. We got a call on Thursday and Friday we went to BYU and spoke. It was with an entire session and we mostly just answered questions and shared our testimonies on missionary work. It was cool to be with all the kids and pump them up about missionary work.
When I was here in my last area we were teaching a lady named Katy....not sure if you remember or not...but as we were coming back from the EFY she called the Elders that we were driving with and asked them to help translate because she and her husband were getting their marriage licences and there wasn't anyone who spoke Spanish. So, all 4 of us went and it was fun to see her again. She has been pretty sick due to her pregnancy and has been progressing slowly but she and her husband are hopefully getting baptized soon now that they will be married.
Saturday we had a zone meeting with President McCune. He has big shoes to fill but seems really sharp. One of the things he wants to focus on is working more with the members. He talked about priesthood keys and aligning the keys he has with the keys of the stake presidents and bishops. I asked Sister Pitts awhile ago how long it took for her to comfortable in her calling and she said it took like 6 months. It was funny to see Sister McCune because she seems so nice but looks very nervous. I guess it is just part of the process.
I had forgotten how many people honk at us when we are on bikes in Orem. It is hilarious. While waiting for a stop light to change we counted 14 different cars honk at us. Elder Ramires sometimes just leaves his arm in the raised waiving position because they are so many people that honk/wave.
I bore my testimony in the branch for my last fast Sunday. We ate with the branch relief society president for dinner yesterday and she has a son that his been out for 2 weeks. I told her it would go by fast.
Wednesday we will all be in the 4th of July parade then we have a district activity that night. President approved the Prince of Egypt as the movie. Not quite Thor but I have never seen it so its ok.
One of my zone leaders who is sitting next to me is from northern Florida and his family sent him some pictures and it looks like there was some serious flooding from the tropical storm. Its the opposite of here because there have been some bad fires and Saturday one sign said the temperature was 107.
Have a great week!
Love, Elder Clark
